Hello everyone!
I'm having a bit of trouble with one of my turntables that I recently purchased. As described in the thread title, I have (atleast thought I had) the not-so-uncommon problem with the tiny screws on the tonearm coming loose and enabling the headshell connection to rotate.
However, I took the TT apart, tightened those screws with a tiny jewelers screwdrivers and yet the cartridge is still able to rotate, although only a bit, maybe 3-5 degrees. Can't say if tightening the screws was of any help, it might have reduced the rotation angle a bit. It might also be noteworthy that I was only able to remove the screw on the cartridge side, as the furthermost one would not budge or come out. Do you think this could have something to do with my problem?
As I see it, the worst case scenario is having to replace the tonearm, but I would be happy to have a more budget-friendly solution to this
If anyone has any insight to what could cause this, any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Marco
